What is the IP address for the Canon PIXMA iP2820? I think I need it to link the printer to my new chromebook.

If I'm not mistaken, and I could be, the PIXMA iP2820 is a USB printer. No IP. So you have to use a USB printer cable, A on one end B on the other.

I'm not sure if the Chromebook comes with specific printer divers or if you have to add them somehow, but this is a general tutorial to connect a USB printer to your Chromebook. If you haven't tried this, it might help.

Thanks for the lead. My problem is that my printer needs to be configured. The list of available printers that comes up on my computer does not include my pixma. Then It asks for my printer PPD which stumps me.

PPD = Postscript Printer Description, which is a file that does basically the same thing as a driver, but differently. I'm not sure if Canon has one for the Chrome OS and the Pixma iP2820, at least, I didn't see one.

Here is a list of supported Canon printers that I found on Google Support.

There is a similar listing that comes up on chrome as compatible Canon printers. Thanks for your interest in this. John
